Question to the Department of Health and Social Care:

To ask the Secretary of State for Health and Social Care, whether the Nightingale Hospital in Frenchay has been decommissioned; how much that facility cost to run; and whether his Department has made an assessment of the alternative uses for that building.

No specific assessment has been made on the alternative uses for that building.

The commissioning of appropriate estates is a matter for the National Health Service locally. The Nightingale Hospital at the University of the West of England was closed and decommissioned from 1 April 2021. The overall cost of providing the hospital was £26.2 million. Any reusable equipment has been redistributed to local hospitals.
